Prince George is Heading Down Under

Young Prince George will soon be getting a change of scenery (coming at an opportune time, as we hear he’s getting bored in London, working his way though The Odyssey and listening to archived “Fresh Air” episodes online). Yes, the Royal Baby will be making his first jaunt outside of his home country this April—all the way down to Australia and New Zealand. A royal source confirmed, according to People, that William and Kate are likely to take their son—who would be nine months at the time—on their three-week trip (though, the source notes, a final decision has not yet been made). The family would be accompanied by nanny Jessie Webb, rather than Carole Middleton, as some reports have hypothesized.

Prince William himself made a trip to Australia and New Zealand with his parents when he was nine months old, which is pretty “aww”-inducing. This will be Kate’s first time visiting either country.

The itinerary for the trip has not been revealed, but we have some ideas:

— Brunch with Lorde, if only for the “And They’ll Always Be Royyyyyals” and “She’s Finally Seen a Diamond in the Flesh” headlines

— A photo-op in which Prince George gets in a kangaroo’s pouch

— A photo-op in which Prince William wears a Legolas wig and stands in the New Zealand countryside

— A visit to the Great Barrier Reef, which is said to be a huge Kate fan and recently told an Australian tabloid it’s starting a diet in anticipation of Kate’s arrival

— A stop at the Sydney Opera House where George can debut a bit of the Bellini aria he’s been practicing
